10 Things Women Can Do to Get Healthy - Part 1

As seasons change, it’s a great time to re-evaluate your life habits and think about what you want to change or keep the same. Fall is still a few weeks away, but it feels like it’s just around the corner now that kids are going back to school. If you are feeling a little drained from summer shenanigans and late nights, here are a few things you can do to jumpstart your fall with a healthy jolt of energy.


1. Get Enough Sleep

Sounds obvious, right? A good night’s sleep is one of the best things you can do for your body, especially as you start to get back into the rigorous school and work routines. Most adults need between 7-9 hours of sleep per night, and some studies show that your sleep before midnight is the best.

2. Stay Hydrated

Did you know that an adult woman’s body is made up of 55% of water? Water doesn’t just help keep your brain clear and your body alive, but it can help prevent constipation, eliminate toxins, and help your muscles perform better. There are so many ways to determine how much you should be drinking, but currently, the recommendation is for women over the age of 19 to drink about 2.7 liters. This includes your overall fluid intake, which also comes from eating fruits and vegetables, which means you should be aiming for 9 cups per day. This is probably on the conservative side of what you should be drinking, so don’t be afraid to increase the volume as you get better at achieving your goals.

3. Move Your Body

Your body is meant to be active, but it’s not uncommon for people to live very sedentary lives. Driving to work, sitting behind the computer, driving home, laying on the couch to watch tv, and then going to bed - do you see the problem? Even if you only spend 30 minutes every day exercising, you will start to see improvements in your health! But why stop there??

If you have a job which makes it hard to exercise, try standing up every 20-30 minutes and walk around the office, invest in an elliptical for your desk, convert your desk to a standing desk, or use your lunch break to get out for a walk.

Stay home? Incorporate more habits into your day to get more active. Take a few extra trips up the stairs, includes the kids in your exercise, head to the playground, or turn on some upbeat music and dance for a little bit.

4. Manage Stress Levels

Stress will wreak HAVOC on your health, so if you really want to make an impact on your life this fall, try reducing stress. this sounds easier said than done, but with a little creativity, you can really make an impact on your body. At Absolute Wellness Center, we are regularly talking about the nervous system, and how chiropractic at the Lake of the Ozarks can make a huge impact. In addition to receiving regular chiropractic care, massage therapy at the Lake of the Ozarks can be another powerful way to help your stress levels.


5. Start Planning Ahead

Eating healthy can feel really hard, but the truth is, it’s just a routine change and a learning curve. Once you embrace the hard season of figuring out the new routine, it will become easier and may even become a new favorite habit. By planning ahead, you can make it even easier to prioritize eating healthy. If you wait to make a plan until you get home after work or the kid's extracurricular activities, do you know what you’ll likely resort to? Frozen pizza, yes, we know, because we’ve been there!

Spending a little bit of time to learn about meal planning can save you time, money, and headaches later down the road! Plus, you can then provide healthy meals for you and your family.


Get Healthy, Get Happy!

Prioritizing health in you and your family-life can make a huge impact. The old adage “if mama ain’t happy, nobody’s happy!” can certainly be felt true, so take some time over the end of the summer season as we work into fall to find ways to feel happy and healthy. We’re moving into one of the busiest and stressful times of the years with the holidays right around the corner. There is no better time to improve your health than now! Do you need help getting started? Absolute Wellness Center not only offers assistance with reducing stress and feeling better with adjustments, but we also offer nutritional counseling at the Lake of the Ozarks. This is a great way to jumpstart your eating plans and gaining a new perspective. We would love to help!
